Baking :)

I am back in South Dakota, and my schedule is filling up quickly!  Between babysitting and substitute teaching, I am starting to fill up my calendar...everything is color-coded (cause I'm cool like that!).  Pink is my personal calendar...stuff that doesn't have to do with fundraising or work or anything.  Orange is the general calendar, which means holidays, or...well...NCIS.  Yep, a TV show!  Blue is for working, but not having to do with fundraising, and green is for fundraising.  Blue is starting to make its presence on my calendar more and more, which is a good thing!  I need to start adding green to the mix, though!  As soon as I start contacting people, then green will resurface :)

Speaking of the Green calendar...my mother proposed a fun way for me to raise money.  Last year she bought a table at a sale at Sioux Falls Lutheran School.  At that table she gets to sell her Danish.  It's like a once-a-year farmer's market.  This year, she proposed that the proceeds could go to fund my trip to Macau.  SO.  I have decided to help with the baking and help sell the Danish on April 2.  If you want some Danish, come on by!

Yesterday I was going to start baking at 9am so that I could be done in the mid-afternoon.  But I ended up working out with my friend Ashleigh, so I didn't get home 'til 12.  Well, I started baking at about 2 anyway, and mixed up the dough, and then found out I didn't have enough flour!  So I had one double batch done, and the 2nd double batch was started...but I had to run to the store!  But I got the flour as well as doing some other errands, and got back to bake.  My mom helped me with the second half of the baking, and we took the last danish out of the oven at about 9pm.  Not too bad!  It went much faster than we thought...a quadruple batch!  So yesterday was full of baking, and it was tons of fun.

So now I must ask you!

When we put together the table, how should we advertise that the proceeds go to Macau?  Leave a comment with your favorite of the 3, or a better one!  Here is what I have come up with:

a) Made for Macau
b) Bakin' my way to Macau!
c) 丹麦面包 (dan mai mian bao) [Danish]
d) something else clever that you come up with and leave in a comment
